It isfurther understood that the errule D not only `holds the ineeting edges of" the split pole section A or A. in position but also reinforces the outer end of the pole sectionthus allowing the formation of anexccedingly stron reinforced bead E,

'and the inwardly-bent ange'D of the fen rule D provides a. vsmooth finished end of the pole section.
